Whisky Sponge Edition No.63 Knockdhu 2006 16 Year Old 55% ABV

This is a single refill hogshead of 2006 16 year old Knockdhu. It's also very peaty and quite ridiculously pale, pure and razor-sharp. A singular and almost ideological style of whisky. 

The original cask strength of this one was up over 67%. Once we'd found a glass that didn't dissolve on contact with the sample, we played around with water and various strengths for ages before settling on 55% as delivering the most balance between raw peat ashes, frothy seawater, lemon juice drizzled directly over your tonsils and having pickled green olives fired at you from a blunderbuss. 

Why not sip it casually while playing a few rounds of BogSponge3000 down the arcade...
